Consider publishing to pypi?

[HandcartCactus]

I was thinking about building something very similar myself, and I'm delighted to learn that I don't have to. The code looks well made and straightforward. Would you consider publishing this anytime soon? I'm happy to assist with any coding/tests/documentation.

• Create setup.py
  • The distribution name metatune is taken on PyPI. Here are some options:
    • Ask ChrisCummins to unpublish their package (appears to be unused).
    • Add a prefix: python-metatune or sklearn-metatune
    • Choose a new name: e.g. sklearn-optuna (must be available on PyPI)
  • Select a version (0.0.1)
  • Select an author_name and email (@ches-001 I think these should be yours)
• Actually Publish
  • Review setup.py
  • Discuss import name and distribution name
    • Consider changing import name to match distribution name, if metatune is not used.
  • Build project (Please let me know if you prefer a specific build back-end.)
  • Discuss adding tox/nox or other CI/CD tooling
  • Publish project on test.pypi.org and test import
  • Publish project on pypi.org

@HandcartCactus sorry for the very late response.

This GitHub repository was for a quick project, but I'd be happy to push to pypi and proceed further with your help, whenever you're available.

No worries! As the project owner, I assume you'll want to have control over the PyPI repo. The first step would be to make an authenticated account on pypi.org, if you do not already. Authenticating your account requires you to save some recovery codes in a file somewhere and getting a TOTP app. I'm using FreeOTP, which you can get for free off the google play store or FDroid app store.

I'm also capable of publishing the package myself, if you prefer.

Sure, you can publish the package
I'll be adding you as a collaborator.

Sounds good. I'll maintain a to-do checklist above.
